I Liebliche Blume, bist du so früh schon wiedergekommen? Sei mir gegrüsset, Primula veris! Leiser denn alle Blumen der Wiese hast du geschlummert, liebliche Blume, Primula veris! Dir nur vernehmbar lockte das erste Sanfte Geflüster weckenden Frühlings, Primula veris! Mir auch im Herzen blühte vor Zeiten, schöner denn alle Blumen der Liebe, Primula veris! II Liebliche Blume, Primula veris! Holde, dich nenn ich Blume des Glaubens. Gläubig dem ersten Winke des Himmels Eilst du entgegen, Öffnest die Brust ihm. Frühling ist kommen. Mögen ihn Fröste, Trübende Nebel Wieder verhüllen; Blume, du glaubst es, Daß der ersehnte Göttliche Frühling Endlich gekommen, Öffnest die Brust ihm; Aber es dringen Lauernde Fröste Tödlich ins Herz dir. Mag es verwelken! Ging doch der Blume Gläubige Seele Nimmer verloren.

I Liefelijk bloempje, Ben je zo vroeg al Terug weer gekomen? Hartelijk welkom, Primula veris! Zachter dan alle Bloemen der weide heb je gesluimerd, liefelijk bloempje, Primula veris! Voor jou slechts hoorbaar Was van de lente, Die net ontwaakte, 't zachte gefluister, Primula veris! Jij, in mijn hart ook Bloeide voor jaren Mooier dan alle Bloemen der liefde, Primula veris! II Liefelijk bloempje, Primula veris! Schatje, jou noem ik Bloem van vertrouwen. Vangend de eerste Wenk van de hemel Ga je al bloeien, Opent je hart al. 't Is nu weer lente. Willen haar nachtvorst, Duist'rende nevels Toch weer verhullen; Bloem, jij vertrouwt het, Dat de verhoopte Godd'lijke lente Eindelijk daar is. Opent je hart al; Echter, dan dringt weer Loerende nachtvorst Dood'lijk je hart in. Laat hij verdwijnen! Nimmer verloren Ging, door vertrouwen, 't Hart van dit bloempje.
